    Is it Leitrim or Donegal, and

    Is there a comparison in Ireland as to how Wales fits into or relates to Britain.

    Wales is to Britain? The Welsh are the actual real British people. They were the indigenous tribes that were pushed to the west of the British island when the saxon German tribes invaded the east of the Island after the fall of Rome.

    So if you are looking for a comparison for Ireland, the best one is The USA, that's where millions of us were pushed out to.

    Wales doesn't want to be independent. That's Scotland. Wales are more like Westmeath.

    Oddly enough they can be the most insufferable visiting fans during the 6 Nations, when you see and hear them in the pubs it's almost like they're making some big point about 'not being English' and have a vibe of taking the place over, the English in comparison are fairly low key.

    The English are oddly sound with rugby. Ok they had a terribly behaved group of players that embarrassed themselves prior to the current group, and some of their songs are hard to listen to! But they never stopped coming to play us during the Troubles, and they voted for us to hold the World Cup. On both points our so called Celtic cousins did not support us, to put it politely.

    Back on thread, Connaught, then Mayo, then Achill. To hell, or to Wales?
